The purpose of the meeting tonight was to plan our trips for next year. We had a brief discussion on where to find snow with Bill Stine showing us charts of the Northeast snow cover for the past five years. Our early trips this year had little or no snow. We proceeded to plan our trips trying to keep in mind where the greatest probability of snow will be, and then hope for the best.
With Peggy Hampton, our extended trip coordinator, presiding, the following trips were planned:
